Earlier this morning I snapped this Monarch butterfly in Dustin’s garden. Had to share while out doing errands. See you all soon. Sorry so short. Gotta go for now. Photo is mine.

@CarolDM is that unusual for this time of year?

@Marilynda1225 Usually they are gone by the end of September. But it depends on the weather. Also, it is rare to see three monarchs at any time of the year. For me anyway. Very special.

@CarolDM I used to have butterfly bushes in my yard. Those bushes would be full of butterflies. Now I live in an apartment.

I don't think I've seen a butterfly since we moved here.

Terrific looking and so colorful. The orange really stands out! Did you know Monarch's travel 100 miles a day during their migration south

It is a lovely photo. It has been a few years since I've seen a butterfly up close in person. I think the last time was at one of those hands-on butterfly exhibits.

I'm glad the butterflies are still around. Have you had any hummingbirds this year?

They are such an iconic species - but did you know they are danger of becoming extinct? It's almost unthinkable that this species of butterfly, which could be found all over the place, has declined by 99% in 40 years!

Yes I did know about their extinction, sadly. As well as the bees. I try to provide what I can in the yard to attract them.
